Great for beginners

Great beginners drone. It does exactly what it's supposed to do. And it has a few tricks up it's sleeves that impresses me also. This is a beginners drone.Some cons, it can fly away on its own. It's difficult to capture satellites, especially on cloudy days. Camera can only be change manually, not remotely. Camera also isn't ideal but it's good for the beginner. Mavic is a much better product.
For work

Bought this for work I will be returning it it has to be calibrated every time I use it seem if I don’t calibrate it doesn’t sync controller with the drone
Software/application is feeble

The app that is required, uses CHINESE. The hard copy of the manual is fine, but your screen uses only a foreign language. Among other things this is a safety issue. The drone itself can fly of course but the software is a problem and receives poor reviews often.
Not good

I've been wanting a drone for several years now. Although I was under the misconception that it would be easy to fly right out of the box, it wasn't. However With all of the features on this bird like the GPS capability, Home button, follow me feature, point of interest circling, auto up/down and the headless control, it became easy rather quickly. On my 4th flight, I was finally brave enough to take it outside for the first time. I had previously practiced inside a large warehouse. It was a bit nerve racking, thinking that the craft would just take off in a random direction.The replacement parts are readily available and easily installed, and yes, you will be replacing propellers if your a novice drone pilot. I have crashed mine several times. Other than blade replacement and a couple of scuffs, this machine is very resilient. The replacement motors are even available. Anyone with a bit of do-it-yourself skills can easily replace those as well.The video and pictures quality was a bit less than advertised. There is no image stabilisation on the camera. The single axis on the camera is a bit troublesome, but can be worked around by rotating the aircraft. See included video.The Ophelia GPS app is easy to navigate. The controller is straight forward too.I highly recommend this drone to anyone interested in getting into droning. I will certainly buy another before I upgrade to a higher end aircraft.I've had to edit my initial review after flying for a while. Holy Stone only sells replacement propellers in a kit with other parts that you normally would not need to replace, such as propeller guards and landing gear. After contacting them, I was told they do not plan to sell the propellers separately. I should not have to buy all the spare parts I don't need.My review was revised from 4 stars to only 2 for these reasons.
